<DIV id=AOLMsgPart_0_54256db4-ec39-49f1-92da-e221092c12fe style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><TT><BR>
Hi guys;<BR>
<BR>
Long ago I installed YDL 3.?? on an old imac. Right now, i'd<BR>
like to install a newer distro onto a G4 (667 mhz) mac.<BR>
<BR>
Before investing a ton of time to download new disks, I'd like<BR>
to prove out that an install would actually work on the machine.<BR>
THEN it will be worth it to do the download of whichever version<BR>
is good for the machine.<BR>
<BR>
Here's the rub. I (also long ago) successfully installed both YDL<BR>
and Kubuntu onto an imac with disks that will NOT work right<BR>
in my recent attempts on the G4. One set is the permanent burned<BR>
YDL 3 disks that worked on the iMac.<BR>
<BR>
The machine (my 'newer' G4 tower) has 3 smaller hard drives<BR>
(20G, 30g, and 40G respectively).<BR>
<BR>
The 40G has been partitioned in half leaving me with 4 possible<BR>
volumes to install an OS on. One partition (of the 40G) now has<BR>
X.4 on it. while the other is going to be for one of the two Linux<BR>
distros I want to run. The 30G is for the second Mac partition.<BR>
<BR>
That leaves a 20G partition for YDL and 20G HD for YDL.<BR>
<BR>
I tried to boot on those old YDL 3 disks that worked happily on an<BR>
iMac a few years ago... and they would not start. The initial screen<BR>
would show the text up to the first prompt. Then I typed in the<BR>
'install' text and went on... but then it goes into a frozen state of<BR>
uselessness for several minutes till finally I force restart.<BR>
<BR>
When I inserted a (Kubuntu) CD to install, the CD hung at the same<BR>
point and showed some numbers on screen as if it either couldn't<BR>
find something or was a bad burn. After trying a couple different<BR>
recordables, I tried having my son put the CD in his G4 (about 800?<BR>
mhz) machine and it did a good live startup.<BR>
<BR>
So, question is, why will the CD's not start?<BR>
<BR>
Slot 1<BR>
GeForce2MX<BR>
<BR>
Slot 2<BR>
The PCI card is an ATY, GT-C XClaimVRPro<BR>
<BR>
The monitor is a 17" apple studio display monitor:<BR>
<BR>
Do I have a monitor or video card problem because of some compatibility<BR>
issue, or is it something else?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
Don<BR>
